Good grief! A lot of you guys have too much time on your hands.

Breakfast is whatever the kids are having - scrambled eggs with American cheese melted on top (my five-year-old's favorite), cereal, yogurt (yes, the kind that comes in a squeeze tube), cold pizza from last night, or occasionally nothing at all. I do better on my ride (8 miles one way) when I eat breakfast, and even when I hammer the whole time (which is basically every day) I don't have trouble with my stomach after a substantial breakfast. If I don't eat at home, I have to take something to work - I'll fade by 11:00 or so if I don't.

Lunch varies. The last few weeks it's been sandwiches (turkey and pastrami on deli rolls this week, with cheddar or baby Swiss and either deli mustard or horseradish mustard), but sometimes it's packaged Asian food from Trader Joe's, or noodle cups, or pizza, or leftovers, or whatever else I can scrounge up in the fridge. On days when I drive, I tend to take in a bunch of stuff with a long shelf life to keep in my desk, so if I forget lunch or get rushed and don't have time to make it I can dip into my emergency rations. I tend to take two or three pieces of fruit - bananas, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, grapes, apples, cantaloupe (no, not the whole thing, silly!). Lunch tends to be all that's in my panniers except on Mondays when I take all my clothes for the week in, so I don't worry too much about things getting smooshed, but soft fruit goes into a Ziploc bag in case it leaks. If I put it in the fridge when I get there, even if it gets pretty badly mashed on the way in it's still fine to eat at lunchtime. Often that's it for lunch - a sandwich and two or three pieces of fruit, but sometimes I'll add some chips, avocados, or whatever else sounds appealing for a side dish.
